WHAT IS MY DUCK????

[Dcasperlve]

Can't help with the breed -- all I know are runner ducks. I don't see what I would consider drake feathers, so I would lean toward female, but I'm far from sure.

What I do know is that you have one good-looking duck! Beautiful feathering and I love the multi-colored feet.

Beautiful duck! I'm tempted to say swedish cross, maybe with cayuga or magpie, maybe something else entirely- I'm no expert on breeds.
If it is female, it will quack properly, loud like a honk, if it is male, it will make a raspy whispery quack sound. Almost like there's a cricket or frog in their throat! Looks male to me, actually, but only if it is young as there is no drake feather.

How old is the duck? And where did you get it from?

Is it your only duck?

And HOW do you keep from getting POOP all over?!?

I have some amazon duck diapers too! Lifesavers.
sounds like it could be a hen then, does she quack? I would highly reccomend getting her a friend, ducks are social animals and thrive on being part of a flock. She may be lonely

I tried to get her a chicken friend....they just fight and my duck would try and peck her eyes. I left it run around my house it acts just like one of my dogs lol and it does honk loudly, you can hear it from the kitchen which if a few yards away. I'm currently incubating Easter chicken eggs so we will see if they get along

Ducks do best with other ducks, but when introducing any new birds I highly recommend keeping them seperate but so where they can see each other, like partitioning off sections for them to meet through the fence, for a good while. Rarely do birds just get along when tossed together. She would most likely do best with another duck.
